Special Issue on Political Economy

Political Economy examines how political institutions, power dynamics, and public policies interact with economic systems and outcomes. It explores how governments, markets, and social groups influence resource allocation, wealth distribution, and economic development. Drawing from economics, political science, sociology, and history, the field analyzes issues such as regulation, governance, inequality, globalization, and collective decision-making to understand how political factors shape economic behavior and how economic interests influence political actions.
